The University of Colorado Boulder is mourning the death of junior Jeremiah Park, who was found off campus in the University Hill neighborhood on Friday afternoon.
Boulder police responded to an apartment complex on Pleasant Street, less than a mile from campus, around 4:42 p.m. on Aug. 23. The Boulder County Coroner's Office, which will determine the cause and manner of death, said they do not suspect foul play at this time, police said.
The university expressed its condolences over Park's death and is offering support through its Office of Counseling and Psychiatric Services, as well as other campus resources.
"The CU Boulder community is deeply saddened to confirm the death of CU Boulder student, Jeremiah Park, a rising junior who was found deceased off campus late Friday afternoon," the university released in a statement.
The Sigma Nu fraternity, where Park was a member, also mourned his loss, with Executive Director Brad Beacham telling CBS News:
"We extend our deepest condolences to the family, the members of Gamma Kappa chapter and all of those affected by this sudden loss. We appreciate the immediate support and care of the university administration and the greater CU Boulder community during this very difficult time. We will continue working with local leaders to provide ongoing support."
